I’m ashamed of what the image of my country has become. The kidnapping was also broadcasted in CNN and other foreign channels. My Facebook wall was filled with comments, rants and trashtalks towards the crappy police action. :/

I LOL’d when I read a given meaning of S.W.A.T. – Sorry Wala Akong Training (Sorry I have no training) Pinoys are fond of making fun of something amidst these kinds of incidents. (should I take that as a positive attitude?)

The hostage taker,Rolando Mendoza was a former policeman(who was dismissed) armed with a M16 rifle during the hostage taking. Number of Hong Kong nationals: 15; 6 were killed. Rolando Mendoza died with a shot in the head by a sniper.
